I am having the following problem;

I am trying to use semi-transparent images on a coloured backround. I have coloured the background of the transparent image exactly the same colour as the backgound colour of the cell it is sitting on. The problem is that the cell colour is a slightly different shade than the cell colour. How can this be if I have used exactly the same red/blue/green values on both?

Is there another way to save good quality pictures as completely tranparent with any sort of background. All the programs I have tried let me make a movable transparent image, but ALWAYS saves the background with it.

I am using Microsoft Photodraw and Hot Metal Pro 6.

All help appretiated.

try saving as .gif if you aren't already. and see if there's some transparency option in the save window, no doubt you've looked but I had to make sure... yah never know.

good luck!
